The majority of voters did not vote for Clinton. The majority of voters voted for everyone BUT Clinton.

Clinton total vote: 62,013,985.

Combined total of Trump, Johnson, and Stein: 66,208,935.

More people *didn't* vote for Clinton than did. Let that sink in.

Ice Cream: The fat cell's food.

Big cities are "stuffed" with people. Most of these "popular votes" are coming from big cities.

Having a few big cities in your country always choose the president is like have a couple of fat people in your group always choose the restaurant.

Weird analogy, I know...

Good Lord...America devised this system of election - have excepted the results of such elections for over a couple of hundred years ....and now suddenly THIS new generation which was raised with endless freedoms and lots of causes to fight that were relevant - now want a cause to fight for that is NOT relevant? I know old activist feminists who want to march on Washington...they want return to their youth and have a cause again.

Like Hilary...you had your day in the sun. You are old and it is not hippy time anymore....give it up.

That's treason.

Hillary Clinton is all about Hillary Clinton. Period! She doesn't give a damn about you or anybody else.

"We're going to be taking some things away from you." — Hillary Clinton
"We're going to put a lot of coal miners out of business." — Hillary Clinton

She lost the election. Get over it!

Trump won. Get used to it! Suck it up, buttercup, and grow up!

If it was all about the popular vote, the state of Cali and NYC will be a very large chunk of the votes. We know the two are all mostly Hillary supporters.
I would imagine Hillary won all the fraudulant votes too.

Agree. As I've said before, I dislike Obama and have been very unhappy with his Presidency for 8 years, but did I protest? Burn property? Smash cars? Spray paint people's property? Get my own way? No I didn't. Why? Because we live in a democracy.
